Mashpee Select Board Minutes May M, 2022 APPOINTMENTS & HEARINGS Public Comment: Kevin Shackett of 31 Brewster Road, Mashpee voiced support to Select Board member John J. Cotton in his belief to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. Gregory McKelvey, a resident of Menemsha Road made note of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights stating that all persons have the right to worship and to speak freely. Elana Doyle of Sunset Strip stated that it has been unfortunate the Select Board and others have been subject to personal attacks and underserving petty behavior. Those speaking harshly should do so with reasoning and not on a personal basis. Cyndy Jones a Gold Star parent commented before the Select Board on behalf of those who have served our Country. One way to show our appreciation of our Military and to our Veterans is to stand together when a pledge is being said. The Military and the Veterans that defend our freedom defend our constitution, and there is nothing that stands between Man and God. Mrs. Jones indicated she is respectful the Select Board has stood strong during this tumultuous time.
